Abstract
Durability is one of the elements which determines the institutionalization of the
Parliament. In this paper the Pakistani Parliament’s durability – ability to
maintain its position in the flux of politics – during Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s era has
been studied. Parliament’s role in framing of important policies and decisions
regarding major issues in politics has been examined in this context; additionally,
the question of how the Parliament can attempt to attain its goals when challenged
with changes in situations and conditions has been addressed. Parliament’s
standing regarding some important developments like proclamation of emergency,
recognition of Bangladesh and the Simla Agreement have also been assessed in
this respect. It has also been studied whether Parliament was able to assert its
independence in the wake of political ebbs and flows.
